23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the elegant and formal arrival of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, in England in November 1913. The Archduke and Duchess are seen here walking towards their saloon after disembarking from the ship that brought them across the English Channel at Dover. The visit to England was intended to strengthen diplomatic relations between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the United Kingdom, and the royal couple were warmly welcomed by King George V and Queen Mary at Windsor Castle. The serene scene in this photograph, with the Archduke and Duchess dressed in their finest attire, is a stark contrast to the tragic events that would unfold just ten months later. In June 1914, the Archduke and Duchess were assassinated in Sarajevo, an act that would ignite tensions between the European powers and ultimately lead to the outbreak of the First World War. This portrait of the Archduke and Duchess, taken during a time of relative peace and diplomacy, offers a glimpse into the lives of the European royalty on the eve of a cataclysmic conflict. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the complex web of alliances and tensions that existed between European nations in the early 20th century, and the unintended consequences of seemingly insignificant events.
